고속철도 교량구간에 차량(KTS)이 주행할 경우 교량 바닥판에서는 큰 가속도 응답이 계측된다. 이러한 가속도의 원인으로는 큰 단면의 국부 진동, 일정한 간격의 침목의 충격 그리고 차량 자체의 진동 등 여러 가지 원인이 있다. BRDM(Bridge Design manual)에서는 이러한 동적 특성치들에 대한 제한치를 규정하고 있는데, 가속도인 경우는 0.35G이하고 규정하고 있다. 실교량 실험에 의해 계측된 가속도 응답은 규정한 제한치인 0.35G 보다는 작지만, 이러한 가속도 응답치들은 차량이 고속으로 주행할 경우 안전성에 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 큰 단면에서 과도한 국부 진동을 지배하는 가속도 응답을 줄이기 위해서 진동저감 방법을 연구하였다. 비록 휨이나 비틀림 같은 전체 진동모드에는 효과가 작지만 일반적으로 매우 큰 단면을 가진 고속철도 프리스트레스트 상자형 교량의 국부진동인 날개짓 모드를 감소시키는데 진동저감 장치는 효과적이라고 판단된다. 실교량에서 진동저감장치의 실험은 추후 연구를 수행할 예정이다.

Pyrotechnic devices are widely used for space appendages. However, a cube satellite requirements do not permit the use of explosive pyrotechnic device. A nichrome burn wire release has typically been used for holding and release of deployable appendages of the cube satellite due to its simplicity and low cost. However, relatively low mechanical constraint force and system complexity for application of multi-deployable systems are disadvantages of the conventional mechanism. To overcome these drawbacks, we developed a hinge driving segmented nut type holding and release mechanism based on the nichrome burn wire release. The functional performance of the mechanism has been verified through release function test, static load test and shock level measurement test.

A cylindrical secondary Li-ion cell is a device in which stored chemical energy is converted to electrical energy via an electrochemical reaction. These cells are widely used for applications that require high capacity and rate power, such as notebooks, power tools, and electric vehicles. The role of a center pin is to retain the channel for gas release, preventing blockage of the hollow of the jelly roll during a charge-discharge cycle, and to prevent an internal short circuit for tearing of separator under mechanical free fall. In this paper, two experiments are conducted with and without the center pin to experimentally verify the importance of the role of the center pin. The first experiment is a 50-cycle charge-discharge cycle test, and the second is a free fall test conducted according to the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards. Based on these experiments, we demonstrate that the center pin in a cylindrical cell is a very important component in terms of safety.

도로의 가드레일 지주 근입깊이의 부족에 의한 자동차의 전락사고 이 후, 일본의 국토교통성 등의 관계자들이 그 대책 세우기에 부심해 왔으나, 기설 지주의 근입깊이를 측정할 수 있는 방법은 아직까지 알려져 있지 않으며, 현재로서는 작업의 전 과정을 비디오로 촬영하여 그 기록을 남기도록 되어있다. 그러나 그것은 상당히 비효율적인 작업으로 엄밀한 감시기능을 다하지 못하고 있으며, 감독자와 시공자의 양자로부터 계측 도구의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 일부의 초음파 측정기 업자가 가드레일 지주의 근입깊이를 측정할 수 있다고 주장하고 있으나, 시장에는 아직 나타나지 않고 있으며, 그 측정시스템의 측정여부와 성능의 검증이 이루어지지 않고 있는 상황이다. 지금까지 충격탄성파법 또는 초음파법을 이용하여, 매설된 가드레일 지주의 근입깊이를 측정한 성공사례가 정식으로 보고된 바는 없으며, 같은 강관주인 눈사태 방지책의 지주 파이프에 대한 근입깊이의 측정은 본 연구그룹의 의해 행하여진 바가 있다. 검사봉이나 해머 등으로 대상물을 두드려서 탄성파를 발생시키고, 그것을 가속도계 또는 속도계의 진동센서로 감지하여 그 파형을 분석함으로써 대상물의 치수 등을 측정하는 충격탄성파법은, 특히 콘크리트를 대상으로 공동 및 매설물 등의 탐사, 균열깊이의 측정 등에 폭 넓게 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이 측정방법을 가드레일의 지주의 근입깊이 측정에 적용할 경우, 일반적으로 행하여지는 방법, 즉 진동센서를 대상물의 상단부(캡)에 설치하는 방법으로는 접합부에 의한 탄성파의 손실과 캡의 휨 진동에 의한 노이즈 등을 해결하기가 곤란해진다. 또한 지반의 존재로 인한 진동 모드의 변화와 진동에너지의 감소 등의 문제점을 해결하지 않으면 안 된다. 본 연구는 충격탄성파법을 이용하여 지반에 설치된 눈사태 방지책이나 가드레일의 지주와 같은 강관 구조물의 근입깊이를 측정하고자 하는 연구이다. 이를 위해 진동센서를 캡이 아닌 측면부에 취부장치를 이용하여 설치함으로써 길이방향의 탄성파를 측정할 수 있도록 하고, 실제 구조물에 대해 측정을 실시하여 그 측정시스템의 성능과 유용성을 검토하고자 한다. 또한 다양한 길이의 실험용 강관 파이프를 매설하고 측정실험을 실시하여 측정시스템의 적용성에 대해서도 검토하였다. 본 연구를 통하여, 수신센서를 파이프의 측면에 선접촉하게 함으로서 종파를 감지하여 근입깊이를 포함한 파이프의 전 길이를 측정하는 본 측정시스템은 매설된 강관 구조물의 길이 측정에 기본적으로 적용 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 오거 굴착으로 시공된 경우에는 높은 정도의 측정성능을 보여주었다. 또한 항타관입 파이프에 대해서는 지반의 영향을 고려함으로써 길이의 측정이 가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 오거 굴착 또는 항타 관입 등 시공방법에 따라 측정결과에 대한 지반의 영향 정도가 달라지며 파형 분석 및 길이 산정시 그 영향을 고려하여야 함을 확인하였다.

Impinging jets are observed when exhaust gases from missiles or V/STOL aircrafts impinge on the ground, flame deflector, ship deck, etc. The flow shows different patterns according to the nozzle geometry, nozzle-to-plate distance, and plate angle, for example. This paper describes experimental works on the phenomena (pressure distribution, occurrence of stagnation bubble, and so on.) when underexpanded supersonic jets impinge on a perpendicular flat plate using a supersonic cold-flow system, and compares the results with those obtained using a shock tunnel. The flow characteristics for the supersonic cold-flow system were also investigated. Surface pressure distribution of supersonic cold-flow system differed from that of shock tunnel because of water and temperature in the low-pressure chamber. Surface pressure distribution as to underexpanded ratio showed similar patterns together.

This is an experimental study to analyze the explosion and fire hazards of mobile phone batteries. Using the lithium-ion batteries currently used on smart phone as the experiment samples, the experiments were conducted by overcharging, internal and external short circuit, and thermal shock with the potential of explosion and fire caused by careless use or abnormal conditions. The experiment results showed that, in the case of overcharging and external short circuit, there was no explosion and fire hazard in the normal operation of the protection circuit module (PCM), but there were big risks when the PCM faulted conditions were assumed. In the case of the experiments by internal short circuit and thermal shock, such risks varied depending on a battery charge state. In other words, it could be verified that there were low risks of explosion and fire in a full discharge state, but there were high risks in a full charge state. These experiment results suggest that to minimize the explosion and fire hazards of mobile phone batteries, an alarm device is necessary when the PCM fault occurs. In addition, a solid battery case should be made and safety equipment, such as a cooling device to avoid high temperature, is needed.

Many types of pipe whip restraints are installed to protect the structural components from the anticipated pipe whip phenomena of high energy lines in nuclear power plants. It is necessary to investigate these phenomena accurately in order to design the pipe whip restraints properly and/or to evaluate the acceptability of the pipe whip restraint design. Various research programs have been conducted in many countries to develop analytical methods and to verify the validity of the methods. In this study, various types of finite elements in ANSYS[1], the general purpose finite element computer program, was used to simulate the postulated pipe whips to obtain impact loads and the calculated results were compared with the specific experimental results from the sample pipe whip test for the U-shaped pipe whip restraints. Some calculational models, having the gap element or the spring element between the pipe whip restraint and the pipe line, give reasonably good transient responses of the restraint forces compared with the experimental results, and could be useful in evaluating the acceptability of the pipe whip restraint design.

In order to investigate the possibility of EPDM micro cellular pad (MCP) as an impact sound insulation product, we studied static/dynamic properties and vibration transfer characteristics of EPDM MCP depending on shape, thickness, degrees of foaming by using material test system (MTS) and lab scale mock-up test apparatus. Static/dynamic rigidity is increased when shape is simple. thickness and degrees of foaming low. We could see that dynamic stiffness is proportional to the transmissibility of EPDM MCP. When dynamic stiffness is increased, characteristic peak at transmissibility curve moves high frequency range or snows increase of maximum value of transmissibility. For lab scale mock-up test and finite element method, EPDM MCP shows low vibration velocity and superior mode shape to just concrete plus slab structure. We could confirm that possibility of EPDM MCP as a impact sound insulation product is high.

Composites have wide applications in aerospace vehicles and automobiles because of the inherent flexibility in their design for improved material properties. Composite tribes in particular, are potential candidates for their use as energy absorbing elements in crashworthiness applications due to their high specific energy absorbing capacity and the stroke efficiency. Their failure mechanism however is highly complicated and rather difficult to analyze. This includes fracture in fibres, in the matrix and in the fibre-matrix interface in tension, compression and shear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the energy absorption characteristics of CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) tubes on static and impact tests. Static compression tests have been carried out using the static testing machine and impact tests have been carried out using the vertical crushing testing machine. Interlaminar number affect the energy absorption capability of CFRP tubes. Also, theoretical and experimental have the same value.
